This kid wasn't joking before, nor was he vindictive and ostentatious, but premeditated.

His purpose was to buy the grain from them.

Speaking of this, Liang Kui and the others have completely woken up.

But it's a pity that they didn't wake up earlier, so that they were brutally attacked by Guo Dan, and now it's really hard to ride a tiger!

It's a little late, but it also proves that Guo Dan actually has a request for them, so they will naturally not give in so easily.

"I still have any tricks for you, it turns out to be this closing method."

A middle-aged man in a blue shirt smiled disdainfully: "If you say this on the occasion of a bumper harvest every year, you still have some sincerity, but now that you have a bad harvest every year, you propose a liquidation method at this time, then you lack some sincerity." ”

In the year of the harvest, the imperial court will purchase grain to ensure that the price of grain will not be reduced, and if the harvest is not successful, the imperial court will open the granary and sell the grain to ensure that the price of grain does not rise.

It's just that in the past few years, the Luwang Mansion has been built, and the county government of Weihui Mansion has almost gone bankrupt, and they can't get grain, and the price of this grain is rising every year, and the people's grain has also been confiscated, and there is no surplus grain, and they can't afford to buy food, which leads to this chaotic situation.

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "Don't say that I am begging you now, the reality is the opposite, as long as I pat my ass and leave now, the consequences, you should know better than me, and I bought your grain at a price of seven yuan, so sincere, isn't it enough?" ”

"You're .....!"

The blue-shirted middle-aged man was speechless for a while, and then said: "You don't want us to be ignorant, all this is your intention, you are deliberately framing us." ”

Now, they fully understand that this is a pit.

Guo Dan obviously went around to Shanxi, why did he suddenly come out of the Daimyo's mansion, it was obviously premeditated.

Guo Dan said: "I came to talk to you with sincerity, not to quarrel with you, and my sincerity is more than that." ”

After a pause, he added, "Yes!" Nowadays, it seems a little lower to buy your grain at this price, but you don't want to think about the cost ..... from your warehouse to the market. ”

Liang Kui said: "Didn't you buy food to help the people? Why did it get to the market again? ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Of course, it is to help the people, otherwise, why should I buy so much food, the people here have no money to buy food, as for how to help, I will tell you then." We are now talking about food prices.

In fact, the price of grain is not only the price of grain, if the price of silk, tools, and daily necessities are reduced, then the price I give will be more sincere, and we can assure you that within a year, these prices will definitely be lower than the current price, and the decline will be greater than the price of grain. ”

Liang Kui was surprised: "How is this possible? ”

Guo smiled lightly: "This point will be written into the contract, if you can't do it, I will make up the difference to you." ”

When these landlords heard this, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.

If this is the case, then this price is really very sincere, tax-free, and at the same time lowers prices, relatively speaking, the price of grain is rising.

Nowadays, the common people can't afford to buy grain, and their grain can't be sold, so they will be transported to Kaifeng Mansion to sell, and the cost will inevitably increase.

Having said that, as far as the current situation is concerned, Guo Dan can actually be a little more ruthless, and they may have to sell it.

Liang Kui nodded slightly: "If that's the case, we can consider it." ”

The rest of the people nodded their heads as well.

Guo smiled lightly: "Why does your tone always feel that I am begging you, we give you such generous conditions, but they are not given in vain, why don't you ask me what my conditions are?" ”

Liang Kui frowned slightly and said, "What conditions do you have?" ”

Guo Dan said: "I have only one request for you, that is, from now on, abolish the tenant farmer system and adopt the employment system." ”

"It can't be."

One of them immediately stood up and said, "If that's the case, then there's nothing to talk about." ”

Guo smiled lightly, and said with a serious face: "If this can't be done, then there is really nothing to talk about, I'll make it clear, if you don't agree to my conditions today, I will send someone to collect taxes tomorrow, from now on, there will be no tax-free land in Weihui Mansion, and there is no hidden land, whoever is the land, who has to pay taxes, no matter who you rent to, then no matter my business, I will ask the owner of the field to ask." ”

Old man Xue said angrily: "You dare." ”

Guo Dan squinted at Old Man Xue and said, "This elder is the old man of the Nahe Prefect's Mansion, Xue Fang. ”

Xue Fang snorted: "It turns out that you know the identity of the old man. ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Of course I know, I didn't say that it was to give you face, but now, you still dare to be so arrogant, do you think your son-in-law can come back?" I can tell you right now that your son-in-law's official position has been lost, and to hear clearly, it is an official position, not just a prefect. ”

Xue Fang's eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice: "You... What did you say? ”

The rest of the people also changed their complexions.

"You'll find out soon."

Guo Dan smiled slightly, and his face softened a little: "Everyone, you are all famous families in Weihui Mansion, squires and gentry, and I am here to revitalize Weihui Mansion, we should have common interests, not hostile."

Do you think that when I say tax exemption, I don't have to pay taxes? No, the imperial court will still come to collect taxes, but I will help you pay this tax, I don't believe you can go and inquire, it is hundreds of thousands of taels every year.

This sincerity alone is enough to prove that I am not here to deal with you, and now in this situation, it is not too difficult to deal with you, but it will only hurt both sides, so why not cooperate for a win-win situation, we will make you richer, not to exploit your money.

Is it just because I'm just a merchant that we're going to be my enemy? This is obviously not a wise move! ”

Guo Dan: This is a stick with red dates.

Liang Kui thought for a while, and said, "This matter is very important, we have to discuss it carefully." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said: "Of course, but I hope to get an answer the day after tomorrow at the latest, I can afford to wait, but the people can't afford to wait." ”

Liang Kui nodded.

"Farewell."

Guo Dan bowed, and then turned around and left with Xu Jirong and Zhu Yihua.

As soon as he left, someone immediately said, "Brother Liang, you don't want to promise them, do you?" ”

Liang Kui sighed: "It's not a question of whether we want to or not, but we have no choice now, I just said to think about it, it's just to find us a step down, if we don't agree, he can not only instigate the people to rob us of food, but also collect our taxes." Again...... ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Xue Fang, who was speechless.

If he can't even come back, I'm afraid that the other counties will also be in calamity, which shows the strength of the imperial court's support for Guo Dan, and he didn't think about letting them come back at all.

.......

And Guo Dan and the others went out of the Liang family's compound and found that there was a sea of people in front of the door, and their eyes were full of expectation and fear.

Guo Dan smiled confidently and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, everything will be fine, I solemnly assure you that after three days, despair will completely disappear in Ji County, as long as you are willing to work hard, there will be food, clothes, and meat." ”

"It's... Is this true? ”

The people couldn't seem to believe that after three days, despair would disappear, was this magic?

"Hmm."

Guo Dan nodded.

The people immediately wept with joy, tugging at each other's clothes, and their excitement was indescribable.

With those dozens of carts of silver, they have unconditional trust in Guo Dan.

Guo smiled lightly: "You go home first, come to the county government tomorrow to see the notice, I still have a lot of things to prepare, so I will leave first." ”

With that, he got into the carriage.

Zhu Yihua and Xu Jirong also squeezed up.

"Hey, why are you running here with me, in your own carriage."

"Lightly, how boring it is to ride a carriage alone."

"That's right."

Zhu Yihua asked again: "Guo Dan, where did you get all that silver?" How did I not know that you are so rich, and my emperor's brother borrowed you? ”

"Be quiet"

Guo Dan cautiously glanced out of the window, and said in a low voice: "The first two cars are all silver, and the rest of the cars are full of stones." ”

Zhu Yihua was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "You are really not small, when they took a second look, wouldn't they be a gang." ”

Guo Dan said: "The result is that they didn't watch it." ”

Came to the government.

When Dong Ping saw Zhu Yihua, he hurriedly stood up.

Zhu Yihua waved his hand and said, "Just call me Ah Kun here." ”

This guy is now addicted to Ah Kun, although the identity of the prince makes him extremely noble, but Ah Kun makes him more free, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to care about other people's eyes.

Dong Ping nodded and sat back down.

Guo Dan was arrogant, hugged his fists to Dong Ping and said: "See the pacification envoy for humble duties." ”

Dong Ping sighed: "Your humble position really makes me have mixed feelings, I really don't know who is the humble position!" ”

Guo Dan sneered: "Don't dare, don't dare." I'm just ordered to come and help, and if you weren't here these days, how could I be so calm as I am today. ”

Dong Ping said: "Don't be modest about this, before I came, didn't you already arrange it, don't you say that you don't know those who took the lead in making trouble." ”

Guo Dan said embarrassedly: "I really can't hide anything from adults." ”

He didn't send anyone, he just bribed some people.

This Dong Ping is the meaning of the three giants of Jinyi and Wei, as far as Guo Dan's deeds are concerned, how can he hide it.

Dong Ping waved his hand and said, "Okay, what are you going to do next?" Oh, I'm asking about policing, I don't care about anything else. ”

He didn't want to stay here, Guo Dan was just a small lieutenant, but if he was here, he would listen to Guo Dan, so he just wanted to complete his task as soon as possible and go back to Beijing, he just came to suppress the formation, and when the situation was controlled, he would return to Beijing immediately, and he would not stay here for a year.

Of course, even if he leaves here, this aspect will not be handed over to Guo Dan, Guo Dan has made it very clear in the imperial court at the beginning, he doesn't care about this aspect, if he wants to take care of it, he can't come here, finance, military and political are in your hands, then this land is really not Ming.

Guo Dan sighed slightly: "Regarding the officers and soldiers, in fact, there is no big adjustment, but I will take back all the fields owned by the imperial court, and then contract them to others to plant, the officers and soldiers no longer need to tuntian, I will give them the silver they receive on weekdays, and the treatment will never be less than now, and I hope to transfer some people to specifically maintain local law and order." ”

Dong Ping asked, "Is that all?" ”

Guo Dan nodded.
